Some 96 lottery players matched five out of six of the winning numbers (20, 33, 39, 44, 48, 49, and bonus number 6) to bank $1,600.50.
There were zero winners of the $500,000 Classic Draw Extra Prize. Fifty-four people did match three out of four of the winning numbers (5, 67, 69, 77) to win $1,000 each.
If you weren’t the lucky winner of this humongous jackpot, you have two more chances this week to win big.
The next Lotto 6/49 draw is on Saturday, March 9 with a jackpot of $10 million. There’s also the Lotto Max draw on Friday, March 8 worth $25 million.
In the meantime, if you live in Atlantic Canada, it might be worth looking through old lottery tickets. Time’s ticking for one winner to claim a $64 million prize.
You could be like this lucky Canadian man who landed his second major lottery win, which allowed him to plan a surprise visit to the Philippines.
Or this lottery winner who’s all set for retirement after winning a massive prize.
